This will certainly be optioned as a movie (if it hasn't yet), and it'll be a good summer popcorn flick. But it was pretty silly at many points.
This is REALLY basic, suitable for the new photog or street photog. The example images aren't particularly strong and often are better examples of street portraiture than classic street photography. But as a beginners reference, this is a reasonable start.
It's about being a leader, and becoming a better leader, and while I usually recoil at business models of leadership, this book is fantastic
A book about zen and gardening? Intriguing, eh? I was recommended this book by [a:Christine Sine|145584|Christine Sine|http://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66-251a730d696018971ef4a443cdeaae05.jpg], author of [b:Return to Our Senses: Reimagining How We Pray|17130457|Return to Our Senses Reimagining How We Pray|Christine Sine|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1356137712s/17130457.jpg|23528368] in a gardening seminar that she taught at her urban backyard garden.
The book is a slow entry (and it seems that many other Goodreads reviewers agree). The author is a devoted Zen practitioner and begins her story with a good bit of memoir and illumination of the Zen way. Even for somebody intrigued with Zen, this was difficult to absorb, written leisurely and ethereal as it is.
However, by the hundredth page or thereabouts, when the author begins really to blend Zen and gardening, I fell in love with the book and broke out sticky tabs to begin to mark a dozen pieces that I want to return to over and over again. The sections on soil and on composting were highlights for me.
A small nit from my perspective: The author is clearly not a big fan of small kids in her gardens, and while I understand why, i quickly tired of the attitude whenever the subject arose.
Yet this is a beautiful book about life and land, a good illustration of Zen, and a wonderful exploration of organic gardening.
